Miley Cyrus sent a heartwarming message to Beyoncé following the release of their critically acclaimed Cowboy Carter duet. On 19 March, the Lemonade singer took to her social media channels to announce the second act in her three-act project – which began with the iconic Renaissance album. “This album has been over five years in the making.
It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” Beyoncé explained in a lengthy Instagram. “But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive.
It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.” Toward the end of her statement, Bey revealed that Cowboy Carter would be full of surprises and feature a handful of collaborations with “brilliant artists.” After 10 long days, the Grammy winner’s highly anticipated eighth studio album finally made its way to streaming services.
Staying true to her word, Cowboy Carter featured gagworthy collabs with talented singer-songwriters – including Linda Martell, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Willie Jones, Dolly Parton, Post Malone and Shaboozey.
